While I was at my favorite Chanel counter the other day, I happened to mention to Scott, one of the makeup artists there, that as much as I love the new Rouge Coco Shines, I’m still going to miss the Aqualumiere line that the Rouge Coco Shines were released to replace.

Scott tried to console me (thank you, Scott). He said that most of the new Aqualumieres have sisters or cousins among the new Rouge Coco Shines and pulled out a chart indicating their color equivalents.

If you have one or more holy grail shades in the outgoing Aqualumiere line, all is not (necessarily) lost. Hopefully its equivalent Rouge Coco color looks just as great.

P.S. Thank goodness for beauty bribery. Today was shaping up to be a big ol’ waste of time, but I told myself that I could have popcorn at the movies today (Priest or Water for Elephants) if I finished all of my chores by 3. I just finished the vacuuming, so it’s working so far.

Hmm… The only problem I’m just now realizing is that my reward involves hundreds of calories that I’m probably not going to burn doing housework. Yeah, I probably should have thought this through a little better, LOL!

I have to say, I bought Boy after seeing your post and it is my favorite lipstick of all time. It just looks amazing on me! I’m going to buy a back-up and I NEVER back- up lipstick! So, I’m not really missing the Aqualumieres!

I aren’t missing the Aqualumieres. While I did love the colour of Waikiki, I found the formula dreid out my lips. While I don’t think Boy is a dupe (Waikiki was much more rosey) I love the colour of Boy and even more importantly love the formula! I am planning on getting more of them so the dupe list is a great help since I also really liked Ipanema Aqualumiere.

This post did it – I’ve been waffling about getting this lipstick for months now, but today I dragged my frizzy clammy-skinned self to Henri Bendel and bought Bonheur. It makes me feel SO PRETTY. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I am soooo pickt about my lipstick. I loved the feel of the aqualumiere – I had Yucatan. I was also very upset that I couldnt get them anymore. BOOO! Thanks for the chart – I’ll try that line. Much appreciation.
